You can sometimes use wildcards to specify account code or account codes elements. Wildcards characters (*) can be used singly or in various combinations. In the following example showing a GL Code range, the cost centre element is in blue and the expense head in red:
PLA-4-OVH/001 to PLA-4-OVH/999.
PLA-4-OVH/* in this case would denote all GL Codes at a single cost centre regardless of expense head.
PLA-*-*/008 would denote all GL Codes at cost centres whose codes begins with PLA which have a specific expense head code.
